About us
As the leading voice for Scottish agriculture, we are a charity who strive for new ways to preserve, educate and support, by uniting communities and investing in innovation, education, wellbeing and the environment. At RHASS, we see a beautiful future for Scottish agriculture, an we're excited to make it a reality. We bring people together from all rural corners of the country around a shared vision - to help rural Scotland thrive! RHASS is Scotland’s agricultural charity and is the leading voice for Scottish agriculture and the rural community. Founded in 1784 with the guiding principles to promote the regeneration of rural Scotland, those principles still ring true today. Today and in the future, the charity strives for new ways to preserve, educate and support the industry and people who live and work in the Scottish countryside, by uniting communities and investing in innovation, education, wellbeing and the environment. We are a membership charity, with around 16,000 members. This community built on a legacy of integrity, honesty and genuine care for the countryside and people who have dedicated their lives to it. Our Members play a key role in helping RHASS to realise Scotland’s agricultural ambitions. We support these communities through our funding and awards, which empowers farmers, rural businesses, charities and individuals. We fund projects that help advance Scottish agriculture through innovation, wellbeing and sustainable practices, fund placements which educate and connect people to opportunities, fund our partner charities and organisations who work in and for the people of rural Scotland (RHET (Royal Highland Educational Trust), RSABI, Farmstrong and SAYFC) and further support the sector through our Local Show Engagement fund.

Jim Warnock, RHASS Chairman opened the RASC conference today, joined by RASC Trustee and former RHASS Chairman, Allan Murray. The pre RASC conference schedule started last week with many of the delegates experiencing the Royal Highland Show for the first time on Saturday 22 June. RHASS has provided funding to three Next Generation delegates, all from SAYFC, allowing them to experience the conference in full, with many of them joining our RHASS Chief Executive Alan Laidlaw in debates around the future of agriculture and our charities. We come together again this week for another celebration of agriculture, this time on a global scale after our own very successful and sold out Royal Highland Show.
Day one of the 2024 Conference (CEO & NG Sessions) was a tremendous success! Future innovators gathered to share insights, spark ideas, and drive the future of agriculture forward 🌍🌾🚜 #RASC2024
